Marvel Comics has announced a one-shot tie-in to its 'Chaos War' event starring Ares.

The Greek god of war was killed during Siege, but will return to challenge the Chaos King as the Japanese chaos god Amatsu-Mikaboshi's invasion alters the status of many of Marvel's dead heroes.

Written by Michael Avon Oeming with art by Stephen Segovia, Chaos War: Ares will also feature the god's parents Zeus and Hera and his son Alexander.

"Greek Gods have the best family dynamics ever," Oeming told CBR "Patricide, incest, murder, betrayal and deep, deep love for each other.

"What are the things that shaped Ares not only into the God of War, but to be the bitter, angry, resentful kid he was? His father and mother have both allied and betrayed him at several points in their history, so it will be really interesting to see all of these emotions and history come into play here."
